Casino News

Casino Tropez had released many scratch cards the previous year which had themes based upon the popular online slots. When scratch cards and slots share similar kinds of themes, they are bound to generate more attention among the players. This increases traffic to the online casino automatically. During the first week of January, Casino Tropez similarly launched three additional scratch cards. Among these, two have been based upon earlier slots, but the third one has been launched before the release of a branded game. It is expected to be like a teaser and popular expectations are already at a high where this new game is concerned. Spamalot by Monty Python had 14 nominations in the Tony Awards and it went onto become the Best Musical. The scratch card basically stands for this musical’s essence and is essentially an animated adaptation. It displays all characters in the Holy Grail cup and the background music is by Spamalot. One of the symbols is shown with the payout, and when any of the six spaces in the card displays the designated symbol, the player gets the payout. These symbols are all caricatures of knights and the players who are well-versed with the Spamalot kind of music can easily identify these. Another popular online slot at Casino Tropez is the Irish Luck and this scratch card has no resemblance with the original slot game. The Night Out card is again very interesting where the Night Out bar has a total of nine spaces. When there are three matching symbols, a player wins. The symbols that pay the most are the three slot game girls followed by symbols like the beer and cocktails. Casino Tropez has been powered by Playtech and enjoys licenses in Barbuda and Antigua.

Playtech and its New Games

Playtech has released a long list of new games include arcade games, scratch cards, and table games. Out of all these, the video games have emerged as the most popular. Out of the new games, Fishing Buddies is a slot game which allows as many as five players to play it simultaneously. There are two level bonus rounds and every player gets to choose an animated 3D bear to be his avatar. Every player will have to wager independently but is allowed to view the wins of others. The main game has a rather innovative Fish a Crab feature. The faster you can play the main game, the greater are your chances of winning larger prizes in the first level of the bonus game. The depth of this bear’s fishing lines shows a player’s progress. The deeper this line is, the faster the game is for the other player. When any of the players becomes too slow, the bear he owns falls asleep and the bonus game goes on without his participation. The next video slot is the Desert Treasure II where the symbols are the same as in the original version, except that they are better crafted here. Some other unique changes have been introduced without altering the main essence of the game. The symbol of the golden cobra in the new game becomes an expanding wild symbol. This time it does not give payouts, but the earlier 10,000 coin payout a player could get through this symbol is not entirely lost because it gets taken over by an Arab symbol. All these new games are live at Playtech casinos like Casino Tropez.

Right before the New Year celebrations rolled in, Mega Moolah which is a progressive slots launched by Microgaming, witnessed a hit on the 28^th of December, 2011. This grand prize was being eyed by millions as it was steadily growing in value and due to approach the two billion mark soon. The final hit was slightly less than the two billion mark and once again the slot has begun to climb after being reset to a one million value. Side by side, Major Millions has also been growing for quite some time and is all set to emerge as the most lucrative online jackpot powered by Microgaming.

Toward the fag end of 2011, Playtech launched the Mummy slots. This game has attracted many Playtech players as the New Year rolled in. This online slots game belongs to the Universal Studio genre of casino games.

Coyote Cash

The Coyote Cash launched by Realtime Gaming at the Silver Oak Casino is based on comic characters where the coyote character will unsuccessfully try to grab some loot. This game became extremely popular, so much so that the Silver Oak Casino even launched a promotion for this game for the month of January.

To get tickets to this weekly draw, the players have to wager a minimum of $500 on the online slots in that casino for that week.

In the previous year several efforts had been undertaken to legalize online gambling in New Jersey. Though much of this attempt had been successful, the Governor Christie had vetoed it, and once again there is a general anticipation as to whether this year will witness a similar attempt at legalization once again. The situation appears to be in favor of legalization. Whatever delays there were, it could be attributed to the Governor’s wish to ensure that everything in this direction was executed in the best possible manner and not on any impulse. The Governor was in favor of New Jersey being in the legalized online gambling business. In fact, he believes that it could emerge as the epicenter for this industry, but everything in this direction needs to be done in the correct way. Any hasty decisions could lead to future inconveniences.

With the Wire Act being seen in a new light by the US Department of Justice, states now have been given a new opportunity to regulate and legalize online gambling. The Department of Justice categorically declared that this Act will be applicable only to sports betting online and not the other casino gambling activities. Therefore, online gambling was no longer being viewed as a federal crime that was punishable. One of the main persons who supported New Jersey laws in favor of online gambling was Senator Ray Lesniak. He was hopeful of this law being passed in the introductory session of the Legislature itself. In spite of this favorable stand of Senator Ray Lesniak, online gambling is likely to face many restrictions once it gets legalized in New Jersey. It means that all players entering these casinos will have to be at least 21 years old. Only the residents of the state of New Jersey will be given permission to play here. Part of the revenues amassed will be given to the horse racing industry. Card games won’t be allowed online; rather, one could play them only in the land-based casinos in Atlantic City.

Playtech introduces new games

To its already huge arcade of casino games, Playtech has recently added two more games. Although these two games are not completely new, their visual presentation is absolutely novel. One of these newly launched games is Medusa’s Gaze. Medusa’s gaze turned people into stone according to Greek mythology. Although her character has been used previously in many online slots, she makes her debut in an arcade game this time. While Medusa is seated at the center of the circle, there are four circular sections which are moving independently around her. There are 12 pay lines in all and every cell has a particular colored tile. The trick is to get as many as three to eight tiles belonging to the same color type on one pay line. When there is a payout, Medusa will turn the tiles into stone and these disappear. The rest of the tiles then move to the center for filling the vacant spaces. The multiplier goes up by 1 following every payout. Different colored tiles have different values; red ones have payouts between 0.1 and 150, whereas the orange ones have payouts between 4 and 10,000. The white-colored tile is the wild symbol and can replace any tile but will not pay on its own. The second game is the Wheel of Light which closely follows on the heels of the earlier Spin a Win.
